Patronage & Partners for PERUN Mission
The upcoming PERUN suborbital mission is supported by institutions and partners whose collaboration strengthens the Polish and European space sector.
Honorary Patronage of the Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodeship
PERUN Mission is held under the honorary patronage of the Marshal of the Pomeranian Voivodeship.
This distinction emphasizes the project’s importance not only for the advancement of Polish space technologies but also for promoting the Pomerania region as a hub of modern research, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
The Marshal’s support recognizes the vision and determination of the SpaceForest team and all partners contributing to the development of Poland’s space sector.

Institutional and regional collaboration of PERUN suborbital mission
We would also like to thank our institutional patrons: European Space Agency (ESA), Polish Space Agency (POLSA) and EuroSpaceport, which joined the agreement between ESA and SpaceForest under the Boost! program supporting the suborbital sea launch of PERUN.

The success of the mission is also made possible thanks to the support of Port Ustka, which provided facilities for payload recovery, and the Central Air Force Range in Ustka ensuring safe airspace and infrastructure for rocket operations.
We are proud that the mission is carried out from the Polish Baltic coast, a place where technology, passion and collaboration meet, strengthening Pomerania’s position as a hub of innovation and space technologies.
Mission Goals and Significance
The mission aims to validate the correct operation of the rocket system, integrate payloads with the launch platform, and conduct research and experiments under the dynamic conditions of launch and suborbital flight.
A launch from a Polish range marks a milestone in the development of national space technologies and the achievement of the first of four milestones within the European Space Agency (ESA) Boost! contract — a program supporting the advancement of European space transportation systems.
PERUN’s mission is more than a technological demonstration — it carries tangible scientific and commercial value. Onboard experiments will make full use of flight conditions, allowing institutions and companies to verify their concepts in a real suborbital environment.
The launch from Ustka will confirm the readiness of the PERUN system and the SpaceForest safety procedures that meet ESA’s strict requirements. The deployment of research payloads marks a historic moment for the Polish space industry.
Research Payloads – Science in Suborbital Conditions
For the first time in the history of Polish space technologies, the rocket will carry integrated research payloads and scientific experiments, prepared by academic, research, and commercial partners. Their objective is to study the influence of launch and suborbital flight conditions — including vibration, acceleration, and microgravity — on materials, biological organisms and technological components.

Commercial Payloads – Demonstrating Innovation
Beyond scientific goals, the PERUN mission engages commercial partners eager to test their ideas under suborbital flight conditions and contribute to the visibility of Poland’s growing space ecosystem. Each payload — from biological experiments to cultural and artistic projects, showcases the diversity of applications for space technologies and the creativity of the companies involved.
